Install quickemu on clean arch was giving BIOS error

ERROR: EFI boot requested but no EFI firmware found. Please install OVMF.

Install was as per Git instructions - yay -Sy quickemu

lots of hunting around for few answers.

Installed Visual Studio Code and the Bash Debug extension, bashdb also installed. Superb bash debug environment.

Found the problem area with break point at around line 659 and then the contents of array ovmfs and the check install code a little lower.

Should be quick to find if someone wants to fix it.

Also appears to be problems with quickemu on other clean OS at the moment.

A few ways to fix. I am sure others will know the best solution.

Cheers, later.

here is a workaround to download and use a local copy since quickemu is a single file shell script.

wget https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/raw/d0ae72a2510f52ae4a9181d7c65f2c69636ca298/quickemu 
[...]

Why doing that when quickemu-git https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/quickemu-git exist?

I have confirmed the latest commit on master fixes this issue. Since I do not know when they will cut a new release

The patch can be applied here without waiting a new release

For anyone getting the ERROR! EFI boot requested but no EFI firmware found. error. It has been fixed upstream. The last release, 4.9.6, was on July 4. I have confirmed the latest commit on master fixes this issue. Since I do not know when they will cut a new release here is a workaround to download and use a local copy since quickemu is a single file shell script.

wget https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu/raw/d0ae72a2510f52ae4a9181d7c65f2c69636ca298/quickemu

Is there anything missing from package dependencies?

$ quickget archlinux latest
...
To start your Arch Linux virtual machine run:
    quickemu --vm archlinux-latest.conf
...
$ quickemu --vm archlinux-latest.conf

Please change the QEMU dependency to qemu-desktop. The qemu-base package does not provide features which quickemu either requires or optionally depends upon. There have been many issues reported upstream due to this incorrect dependency.

Looking in the history of this thread, apparently that package caused some other issues. In that case, these will be the dependencies you need. qemu-audio-pa qemu-audio-spice qemu-chardev-spice qemu-hw-display-virtio-vga-gl qemu-hw-display-virtio-gpu-gl qemu-hw-display-qxl qemu-hw-usb-smartcard qemu-hw-usb-redirect qemu-ui-sdl. In addition, for other display options which are accessible in quickemu, you'll need qemu-ui-gtk qemu-ui-spice-app qemu-ui-spice-core. The issues with the qemu-desktop package may have been resolved though, since qemu-full now depends on qemu-desktop rather than conflicting with it. Other packages such as gnome-boxes also already depend on qemu-desktop, I find it unlikely many people will experience conflicts.

I had to install a few other packages for quickemu to work. Should these be made dependencies? qemu-hw-display-virtio-vga-gl, qemu-hw-display-virtio-gpu-gl, qemu-audio-pa, qemu-hw-usb-redirect, qemu-hw-usb-smartcard

I think only these changes in the PKGBUILD are needed. Thx ;-)
